Mini Conference

The New Mexico Library Association’s 2015 Spring Mini-Conference will focus on how information professionals can emphasize our common mission, goals, passions, and other similarities in the work that we do for our communities. This conference is an opportunity to showcase initiatives, software, programs, and services — all of the creative ways in which different libraries are meeting the shared challenge of serving communities throughout New Mexico. The Mini-Conference traditionally provides an opportunity for us to travel to smaller communities within the state and collaborate with libraries and library staff in those areas.
